Organic Chemistry I tutoring

Private 1:1 tutoring-support scope for Organic Chemistry I, based on a supplied syllabus. This is not an official university course or an institutional offering.

Independent 1:1 tutoring with Mohammad Abusaif on Preply. Course names and outlines do not imply university affiliation or an official university exam.

Topics we can work on together.

Introduction, sp3 and sp2 hybridization, drawing chemical structures, polar bonds, formal charge, resonance structures, and alkyl groups.

Diagnostic coverage: 4 questions

Alkanes, Cycloalkanes, and Conformations

Isomerism; alkane nomenclature and physical properties; alkane conformations; cycloalkane nomenclature and ring strain; and cyclohexane conformations.

Diagnostic coverage: 5 questions

Stereochemistry and Unsaturation

Optical activity; chiral and achiral objects; the R/S convention; enantiomers and diastereomers; degree of unsaturation; and alkene nomenclature including cis-trans isomerism.

How a lesson can help.

Review your missed questions step by step, connect the concepts to calculations or reaction reasoning, and agree a study plan for your own course. Booking takes place on Preply; the free test is not a requirement to book.

Coverage and limitations

Topic coverage is mapped to the supplied outline from The University of Jordan (0303231). Your university may organise topics differently. Share your own syllabus before your lesson.

  • Organic Chemistry III content.
  • Dedicated units on alcohols, carbonyl compounds, aromatic compounds, and biomolecules that are not listed in the supplied outline.
  • HPLC, GC, and dedicated IR, NMR, or mass-spectrometry units; the outline explicitly lists UV spectroscopy only.
  • University administrative, coordinator, delivery, assessment, or policy information.
